“The Dirty Dozen: The Deadly Mission” and “The Dirty Dozen: The Fatal
Mission” have little to do with the classic 1967 film that starred Lee

there’s not one American who wants to live through another Twin Towers
disaster ever again. Most Americans likely expect their government to
“smoke out the enemy,” to borrow a Bush-ism, to thwart terrorists from
having their way. It’s an especially urgent issue in light of Gen.
Michael Hayden’s CIA directorship hearings. Hayden is the former head
of the National Security Agency, which was reported to have collected
phone records for tens of millions of Americans. Hayden’s activities,
and the public’s alarmed reaction to them, underscore ...
